HB5804 Summary

• Amends pretrial detention standards to require detention only when a defendant poses a "real and present threat to a person or the community" (removes "specific" requirement) or has high likelihood of willful flight.

• Expands grounds for denying pretrial release to include situations where a person poses a real and present threat to the community while charged with a felony or Class A misdemeanor.

• Modifies service procedures for orders to show cause regarding revocation of pretrial release, allowing service to counsel of record and by United States mail at the court-listed address.

• Changes pregnant pretrial detainee provisions to remove "physical safety of" language when assessing threat to alleged victims or the public, focusing on whether release poses a real and present threat.

• Applies revisions to risk assessment tools and conditions of pretrial release to account for threats to the community in addition to threats to specific individuals.
